Registrar: Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) Nameservers: izabella.ns.cloudflare.com, justin.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-11-17 Expires: 2026-11-17 Page title: FIFA World Cup 2026™ Tickets | Host Cities, Dates, Teams, Tickets HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-11-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 23:34:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 20:37:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-20 18:47:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 16:45:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e84e2-e350-753c-b565-0857ac422ade/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/eebb0b28-350b-429d-ae56-c3d28b89548b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fifa.market crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fifa.market Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fifa.market AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fifa.market URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fifa.market/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:42:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain fifa.market has been identified as a generic phishing threat, leveraging the brand of the FIFA World Cup 2026 to deceive users into purchasing fraudulent tickets. No specific drainer kit was detected, but the site posed a significant credential and financial theft risk. PhishDestroy confirms that this domain is a classic example of event-based phishing, capitalizing on high-demand ticket sales. Technical indicators paint a clear picture of malicious intent. VirusTotal reports that 19 out of 95 security vendors flag the domain, a strong consensus of threat. The domain was registered on November 17, 2025, through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina, and resolved to IP 188.114.97.3. It lacks an SSL certificate, further signaling illegitimacy. The site appears on 1 security blocklist and has been found in 4 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX. Google Safe Browsing status was not explicitly provided, but the offline status suggests takedown action has been taken. The domain is currently offline, indicating a successful response by authorities or hosting providers. Users who may have visited the site should monitor for phishing follow-ups and change any credentials entered. Despite the takedown, similar domains may emerge, so vigilance is advised. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any unsolicited ticket offers and verifying official FIFA channels for World Cup 2026 purchases. No remaining risk is identified from this specific domain, but the threat landscape remains active. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-41386F Favicon MD5: cb8657e5f0cad7962aee80b4a7cf4bb1 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fifa.market/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fifa.market Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
